Believe, be Light, be love just because
All along you've belonged
In this love song
This now, befriend
Come what may, with you heart begin
Believe Be Light Be Love
Be Etc by Peter Mayer
Peter's song provides an invitation for daily living with
a light and lovely touch. It is all about more "being" and
perhaps "doing" less.
Believe, be Light, be love just because
"Just because" is a great reason, isn't it? I'm
sure when my parents would say those words to me, that I rejected their line of
reason. But, I must confess that over the years I have claimed a personal
privilege with our children, "just because."
All along you've belonged, now maybe that's the real reason
to be, due to the fact that we are connected, we are in relationship, our
prayers and longings of the heart have been answered, we belong.
In this love song
This now, befriend
It is in the moment that we can be. When I get off track and
out of alignment, I think about something that is going to happen in the
future. Instead of "daily bread," I think about bread two weeks from
now, or two months from now. But, Peter invites us to make pals with the now,
to befriend the very moment.
I believe it's about having a "be-attitude"
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and
after he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Then he began to speak, and
taught them, saying:
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5)
